Abstract

A distributed network system includes a distributed server system and a plurality of client devices that are communicatively coupled to the distributed server system. The distributed server system includes multiple servers, each server including a set of client devices registered with the server. Through client re-registration, a client device can move its registration from one server to another server. Through server-side data replication, an object registration request submitted by a client device to a first server is forwarded to a second server without having the client device submitting the same request to the second server.
